“THE glamour literary retreat of the year," the NBCC provides the most access to the most prolific authors in the most intimate setting. And it continues to get better. In 2008, Aug. 1-3 at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis, we will present the most lively, fun, learning and spirited literary occasion imaginable. Just take a look at the authors who have committed to being a part of the sixth-annual event: Terry McMillan, Iyanla Vanzant, Eric Jerome Dickey, J. California Cooper, Omar Tyree, Kimberla Lawson Roby, Tina McElroy Ansa, Terrie Williams, Virginia DeBerry and Donna Grant, Victoria Christopher Murray and many other. There will be book club meetings, panel discussions, book signings, receptions, lunches and we will cap the experience with a semi-formal dinner that will be preceded by a glamorous Featured Authors Red Carpet Entrance. Love books? Love meeting authors? This is the event for you. Register today, as space is limited.
